Lizzie

So today for my birthday I went to Build A Bear. I had always wanted to go there, so today I went!

I did a little dance and made a wish on the heart that went into my bear. I gave her a bath, dressed her in pretty clothes, and picked up her birth certificate.

Meet Elizabeth!! I call her Lizzie for short. She’s really soft and cuddly.

And during the party I noticed that she’s a chip off the ol’ block. Kind of. I don’t really like Smirnoff- this was someone else’s drink! But she partied hard for my birthday just like the rest of us did :)

We spent the evening eating pizza, drinking beer and playing with my Wii. It was the best birthday I have ever had!

Happy Birthday To Me!!

32 years ago today the most amazing thing happened to me… I was born!!

This is the youngest picture I have of me- Mom and Dad have all my baby pictures. I was 4 when this one was taken :)

I’m going to Build A Bear for my birthday, then this evening all my friends are coming over to my place for pizza and cake. It’s shaping up to be the best birthday ever!

Typical…

Here’s a typical Western/Upstate New York forecast for you… ;)

It’s Fun Time!

My stuff came!! Finally! I haven’t seen most of it since September! I was SO happy when that truck with the pod on it rolled it. I was even happier to open it and find all my stuff… and happier still to find that thanks to Michele’s careful packing, not a thing was broken or even scratched!

It’s been so much fun to open the bins and make this little place really feel like home! I went from this…

To this…

and it feel SO much more like a home. I had been feeling like I was living in a rather large hotel room!

I still have a lot to do (and a lot of pictures and quilts to hang!), but I’m getting through it slowly. My next step is to set up a little sewing area. I can hardly wait to be sewing again. I feel like creating again!

Updates

I have set up a new Twitter account! I missed the online quilting community that exists there. You can find me as @quiltgirl1978. I have my tweets protected, but if you’re quilty and want to follow me, just send a request and I’ll let you in!

I’m also very excited that my stuff (personal belongings, fabric, yarn, etc) is on it’s way from Illinois! Michele and some helpers packed it into a container from PODS and shipped it off to me. It’s supposed to arrive on December 11th. I can hardly wait- I already have a little area in my apartment set aside for a sewing nook and bookcases ready to fill with my books! It will be nice to have this place really start to feel like home.

The job search is on but so far nothing is panning out. If you’re in the Rochester area and know of any clerical/administrative assistant or medical billing jobs available, let me know! I’m working temporarily at a local mall in customer service. I really like the job and the company is great to work for, but the job will end 12/23.

Not much else! This past week was insane with a few things but the coming week will find me with a lot more time to sew and knit and I might even have a picture or two to share soon :)
